Debussy

Claude Debussy was a French composer born in 1862, known for his innovative approach to music that broke away from traditional forms and structures. He is often associated with Impressionism, a movement that aimed to evoke moods and impressions rather than detailed narratives. Debussy's works, such as "Clair de Lune" and "Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun," are characterized by rich harmonies, fluid rhythms, and a focus on atmosphere. His style influenced many composers and changed the landscape of classical music, paving the way for modern musical expressions. He passed away in 1918, leaving a lasting legacy.
